“Well,” he says, “there’s excuse for picks and letting-on, in a case like this; if it warn’t so, I wouldn’t approve of it, nor I wouldn’t stand by and see the rules broke—because right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a body ain’t got no business doing wrong when he ain’t ignorant and knows better. It might answer for you to dig Jim out with a pick, without any letting-on, because you don’t know no better; but it wouldn’t for me, because I do know better.”

Racing to Race

Carlo stopped to rest for a minute and tried to catch his breath. He’d been running for so long that he had pains in his side and his legs were beginning to hurt. He hunched over and tried to expand his lungs, but it was like trying to suck air out of a bicycle tire. His body was too exhausted to even allow him to take a deep breath, and he started to wheeze again.

“Great,” he thought, “let me just add asthma to my expanding list of ailments. I can’t believe that I can’t even jog two miles without completely collapsing!” He finally gave in to his aching body and laid down on the grass to recuperate. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine himself running on the school track in the 1,600-meter race. He pictured himself running steadily toward the finish line, running effortlessly like a cheetah in the jungle. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even hear Meiya approach.

“Hey sleepyhead, what are you doing napping on Sean’s lawn in the middle of the day?” Meiya asked playfully.

Carlo quickly sat up, breathing normally now and feeling a little embarrassed. “I am trying to get in shape to try out for track, but I can’t even run two miles,” he said dejectedly.

“Wait, how many months are you out of surgery? Didn’t you just finish rehab last week?” Meiya asked. “You can’t expect to run two miles the first day.”

It had been six months since Carlo’s surgery and he specifically remembered the doctor telling him he could start running after six months. But he thought about what Meiya had said and realized she had a good point. After his surgery, the doctor did say rehab would be crucial to his recovery but that it would take time for him to gain back full use of his leg. He thought about how a baby had to learn to walk before it could run. He remembered when his nephew was learning to crawl; within days it seemed like he was walking. Running didn’t come right away, Carlo remembered. He realized it was the same with his therapy. The maximum he had run in the past month was one mile on the treadmill, so he realized that Meiya was probably right. He would have to work at building up his endurance and set more realistic goals for himself. As he thought about what he had already accomplished, he started to smile and felt like a weight was being lifted off his shoulders. He realized that he had run almost a mile and a half before his body started to protest and if he kept working hard, he could get back to where he was before his accident.

“Since when did you get so smart, Dr. Meiya?” he teased. “Do you want to race to the next mailbox?”

“You’re on!” she challenged and took off running at full speed.

According to both passages, in which two ways do most Americans' breakfast preferences differ from the rest of the world?

Passage 1

Breakfast in America

In America, breakfast is the only meal that is still eaten at home by most of the population. About 80% of Americans eat the first meal of the day at home. The other 20% of people either skip breakfast or buy their morning meal outside of the home.
Most Americans eat dry cereal with milk for breakfast. Fruit juices, such as orange juice and apple juice, are common breakfast drinks. Eggs, with or without bacon, are the second most common morning meal. Bagels, muffins, and pastries are eaten less often than cereal and eggs.
The breakfast trends in America are changing, though. While cereal is still the most popular breakfast food, its sales have started declining sharply in the last few years. Instead, more Americans are reaching for portable breakfast items, like yogurt and sandwiches. Many people who eat breakfast want a satisfying meal without a lot of added sugar. Breakfast items rising in popularity are higher in fiber and protein than dry cereal.
A typical "All-American Breakfast" on the menu at restaurants might include eggs, bacon, ham, toast, potatoes, and coffee. However, most Americans are eating a lot less food in the mornings. They are also on the lookout for breakfast items that are easy to prepare and easy to carry.

Passage 2

What's for Breakfast?

The nutrients you eat in the morning help give your body energy all day long. In the United States, like in some other countries, cereal in milk is a popular breakfast food. However, unlike the United States, many other countries include seafood, meats, and vegetables in their morning meal.
All over the world, people eat foods for breakfasts that most people in the United States would save for later meals or not eat at all. In Japan, miso soup, white rice, squash with soy sauce, and grilled salmon are part of a common breakfast. In both Brazil and Germany, large pieces of bread served with cheese and meat, such as ham and sausage, make up the morning meal. In China, breakfasts vary greatly by region.
Dim sum, which is made up of small plates of food such as dumplings and marinated meat, is one traditional breakfast option in the large country. A soup made of egg, milk, and green onions is a morning staple in Columbia. In Nigeria, moi moi, which is a paste made of ground beans, is wrapped in leaves and steamed for breakfast. In both Australia and France, breakfast cereals served with fruit and bread are common for breakfast. In Turkey, small plates of many items, such as tomato slices, olives, bread, cheese, eggs, cucumbers, jam, honey, and sausage, make up breakfast.
Though breakfasts around the world look different, they all serve the same purpose—to satisfy your hunger, at least until lunch!

Passage
Maya disliked the desert because she was afraid of snakes. She had only agreed to go hiking because her friend Melissa had guaranteed they wouldn't come across any snakes. But even with her friend's promises, instead of enjoying the scenery, Maya was scanning the desert floor for any sign of movement.

"Maya, quit staring at the ground and look at this awesome view," said Melissa, thinking that Maya was being a baby and there was nothing to worry about. Maya knew that Melissa was right, so she tried to relax and enjoy their hike.

Deep in conversation, neither girl heard the rattle of the snake hidden on the trail up ahead.

One of the many things that authors have to consider when writing is the audience they are writing for. The author may use specific techniques to interest a particular audience, or shape their writing to ensure that their specific audience will understand the main ideas. For example, if you were writing an instruction manual for rocket scientists, it would likely look very different from one you would write for young children. Your language, tone, and writing style would change significantly.

You will be writing two separate paragraphs in this journal entry, each intended for a very different audience. Imagine you have been asked to write a paragraph about something you can do to improve your school or community. First, write the paragraph imagining that the readers of the paragraph will be first- and second-graders at the local elementary school. Then, revise the paragraph, this time writing it for an audience of political repesentatives in your city.

Your response should be no less than 150 words in total, and must include both versions of the paragraph.

When you are reading a story, how can you tell WHEN something is happening? A) In a story, everything happens in the present. B) Unless the setting and time are stated, you cannot tell. C) You can tell by paying attention to verb tenses. D) It is always the past; otherwise, you couldn’t be reading it yet.

What is the best way to think about setting?

a. The mood and feeling of the story’s surroundings

When most I glory, then I feel most shame:
I willing run, yet while I run, repent.

My very ink turns straight to Stella's name;

And yet my words, as them my pen doth frame,
Advise themselves that they are vainly spent.

For though she pass all things, yet what is all
That unto me, who fare like him that both
Looks to the skies and in a ditch doth fall?

Oh let me prop my mind, yet in his growth,
And not in Nature, for best fruits unfit:

Part A

In "Can Eating Less Meat Cool the Climate?" What advice would the author of, “CON: Don't blame farm animals for all those greenhouse gas emissions” most likely give based on their viewpoint in the article?

One should seek alternative sources of protein.

One should continue to eat meat as a part of a healthy, balanced diet.

One should consider eating more fish or living a pescatarian lifestyle.

One should consider raising their own cattle and growing their own produce as small farms are more sustainable.

Question 2

Part B

Which evidence from the poem best supports the answer in Part A?

"For instance, growing almonds, a darling of health food fans, requires a huge amount of water."

" However, it underscores a major point: meat is a highly efficient source of nourishment — and tasty too.

"It is one thing to push vegetarian diets on the basis of health claims or animal rights. The environmental case against meat is a stretch, however."

"They found that a shift toward eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat would increase greenhouse gas emissions by 6 percent."
